I love this idea of short over long; it’s such a funny proportion, but funny in a good way. ¬†(You’ll see the men’s version later today.)

I’m so happy to be back in New York with fashion week done. ¬†I have a lot of great images to share; you’ll be seeing them over the next two weeks. ¬†I also have a lot of great posts – shopping ideas, book ¬†suggestions, more fashion show coverage – in mind that I’m excited to publish.

It’s finally fall here in New York, and I can’t wait to start capturing it on our streets.

That is an interesting look. I see it done often with leather coats, but this is different.That jacket is super to start with. And the layers are all nice and well fitted. And that clutch is great. Plus I love clogs and the thick belt. I wonder if that clutch was always a clutch or if she made it that way.

I like the short of long proportion and the mix of plaids. In fact, I like everything about this outfit except the shoes. Would love to see it either with some great heels or taking the menswear look all the way with some loafers.

I like to play with different lenghts in my outfit to create shape or to create a slender appearance. I love the patches on the sleeve. I updated a couple of my old winter sweaters by patches for the sleeves.

Hi, great shot. What f/stop and shutter speed did you use to take this shot? I like how she and the pole to her right are in crisp focus and (emphasis italics) the foreground and background are blurred out.

I love this! I think it’s a stunning look, I love not only the layering of odd proportions, but the different plaids, the cuffed pants, the easy clogs and the luscious clutch, it’s just all so good! Pinning it now.

Thought that this was one of the best looks in a long time till I scrolled down and saw her rolls and clogs.

It makes the look too bumpkin-ish. This is Paris. One must be able to keep up with the vibrancy of the city (especially a young beauty such as her). The rolls and clogs just throw off the balance a little too much to make this complete.

Her top half, like I said, is stunning. The clogs and rolls just got to go.

This is incredible! Her whole look is spot on! I am living in Paris right now and this is really inspirational. Everyone (mostly) here looks great, but a lot of it is very similar. I love the creativity with classic pieces.

I love this too! Why? I’m not sure. Bohemian, carefree….care-less? I bought a longer mid-thigh black top this summer which I plan to wear under a black hip length jacket this fall. Last week I wore a white silk Equipment shirt over jeans, buttoned up at the neck, then put the hip length black jacket over it. The shirt hem hung below the jacket by 6 – 8 ” . I wore it to meet a new potential client – and got the job! I guess it looked cool enough. :-) I think Armani did this some time ago. It also seems very Japanese. Also, hides imperfections!

I think what makes this look work is that there is a Predominant, Subordinate, and Accent pattern/color in this photo. The predominant is the plaid shirt, followed by the subordinate plaid blazer, and the accent is the jeans. The three colors brown, gold and navy tie everything together.

I love the top half of this outfit: the long plaid shirt over the shorter plaid jacket. HOWEVER, I hate the bottom half: the jeans are unfitted and baggy plus they’re rolled the wrong way. Not to mention the kind of dutchy clogs: not pretty at all.
It’a shame because with so much promise on the top it could have been a phenomenal outfit.

Thank you, thank you, thank you, for posting two shots. It is wonderful to see the total picture. So often, we forget that people see us both coming and going. I would love to see more photos of your subjects like this.

My fav colors this year navy and camel. Such a nice composition! Even the shoes look classy. The thing with matching long with short is alright as long as it doesn’t corrupt the whole silhouette, which I think the blouse does a bit in this coordinate.

Aah, Paris (whistfull sigh): always wonderfully captured on your camera. I love her look.
Personally, I can’t wait for you to publish another book. The first one is great and I still look through it occasionally: it’s a keeper. A new book including your favourite places to visit and stroll around (shops, cafes, streets, fashion, cities, and other destinations) would be fabulous for us armchair/desktop travellers, watching for inspiration.
Thanks again. Linda B. ciao. x x

These proportions remind me of my recent trip to India. The younger ladies wear a salwar kameez, and when they immigrate to America, they keep that style and just throw a jacket over their outfit when it gets cold.
